International Typeface Corporation has introduced three new typeface families ITC Stone Humanist, ITC Tetra and ITC Tomism.
"Created by two of today's most influential type designers, these new typefaces flaunt the diversity of what's available from ITC," Allan Haley, director of words and letters at ITC, has said. "ITC continues to expand its exceptional range of fonts that appeal to graphic communicators."
Sumner Stone designed the ITC Stone Humanist family by blending classical serif letterforms and traditional sans serif shapes that he pulled from his ITC Stone Sans design. Produced with the same complement of weights as the ITC Stone Sans design, the x-heights, proportions, and underlying character shapes of the ITC Stone Humanist family are fully compatible with the three original Stone Sans, Stone Serif and Stone Informal designs.
Tomi Haaparanta's ITC Tomism family mixes Cyrillic and black letter shapes. The result is an ornate and angular design that can add fanciful, mythical or exotic undertones to any project. The ITC Tomism Swash design is a more flourished version of the ITC Tomism face.
The ITC Tetra typeface family, another creation from Haaparanta, grew out of a design study. "I wanted to see how simple I could make a family of letter shapes and still maintain their legibility," Haaparanta has said.
The new fonts are available for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh platforms in the Open Type, PostScript and TrueType formats.
